The
fundamentals of first time lawn establishment.
| 1. |
Consider
frequency rather than duration. Frequent, light irrigation
cycles consistently provide more available water. |
| 2. |
Avoid
wetting-and-drying cycles. Not only do you delay
germination, but you reduce the percentage of the seed that
germinates. |
| 3. |
Make
sure the seedbed is moist late in the day. Doing so
typically ensures that water is available for many hours,
because night time evaporation is low. |
| 4. |
Continue
consistent watering even after germination occurs.
Water is just as important to young roots and developing
foliar structures. Once the seedlings appear, the assumption
is; the "pressure is
off", and the subsequent slacking off on
your duty to supply water, is an approach doomed to failure. |
Temporary Rain waters evenly, consistently and thoroughly
insuring, a good deep root system, and well established foliar
parts .
